The Hofbrauhaus Las Vegas will be the world's only replica of the Munich landmark and serve lunch, dinner and lots of beer. The Las Vegas version will seat more than 800, which is much less than the 3,500 the original built in 1589 held. The grand opening is expected in December.

The main beer hall will be an exact copy of the original with paintings and huge lights. It will seat 380. The indoor beer garden, which will seat 430, will have six 24-foot artificial chestnut trees, a domed, sky-painted ceiling, and walls painted to look like outside ones.

Nearly everything will be imported from Germany including the roof tiles, the bands, the pretzel dough and the beer.

Even though the Hofbrauhaus Las Vegas won't yet be open, the company's entrepreneurs are planning a huge Oktoberfest celebration that will take place in a 1,000-seat tent in the parking lot at Terrible's at Paradise and Flamingo roads. Oktoberfest will run from Oct. 10 to 26. Party hours will be from 11 a.m. to midnight Sunday through Thursday, and from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. For information, call 702-256-5500.

There will be sit-down service provided by a wait staff from Germany. All the food will also be imported from Germany along with 75,000 frozen pretzels that will be baked fresh and served warm during Oktoberfest.

A Hofbrauhaus opened this past spring here in the Cincinnati area. The first one outside of Munich. What a fantastic place. Everything (except the goetta) is imported from Munich.The beer is AWESOME. The first few weeks, the place was so popular, they kept running out of beer. I'm sure it will be a huge success in LV.

We drove by the building about 2.5 weeks ago, and it wasn't even close to being ready to open then. Still definitely a construction site.

they suggest December 2003 for the Grand Opening.

"The architects building the Hofbräuhaus followed the original designs in every aspect and created a truly authentic piece of Bavarian culture. HBavaria LLC as the managing general partner of the BVT HBavaria L.P. is convinced that with the Grand Opening in December 2003 the Hofbräuhaus will be a new major attraction for both tourists and locals in Las Vegas."

celebrating New Year's Eve in the Hofbräuhaus should be possible... hopefully they have more beer on hand then in Cincinatti...
